l To all whom it may concern.'

Be itknown that I, LYMAN R. oBERTa'a citizen` of the 'United States,-residing l1n Rutherford, in the county of Bergen and State of NewJersey, have invented certain.

new and useful Improvements in'Automatic Type-Writer Operators, of whichthe fol-v lowing is a specification. f

Th'sjinve'ntion relates to an automatictypewriter operatorv particularlyas adapted to.. addressing 'evelops,.and is an improvelment on lthe-construction shown and described in Patent No. 1,109,597, grantedSeptember 1,1914,Vv to Charles L. Davis and me jointly... Y l

k.1,'l`h`e primary. object of this invention is toy control,automatically all ofthe operations Y necessary to theaddressing'oienvelops, such as feeding envelops to the typewriter, writing aseries ofnames and addresseson successive envelops, and. remov- -ingea'chVcompletely addressed envelop from the typewriter. f This object may beattained by prpviding an envelop feeder operated by a pneumatic actuatorwhich is controlled from al master sheet passing. over the trackertogetheiwith platenacti'iating means operated by an automatic ,pneumaticactuator controlled from the samek master sheet,. so as to rotate in aline-spacing direction to pick up the envelop fed to the platen a'ndposition the sameready for the first line of typewriting. The mastersheet has openings -corresponding to -openings in the motor, and asource of suction under the controllo-f` primary and secondarypneumatics, arranged so as to cause the operationof the .motorwlien airis "permitted to enter the-chamber in `the primarypneumatic normallyunder suction, by the bringing in .register otopenin'gs in the mastersheet with openings n the tracker. y l

the control of a secondmaster sheet which Patented Feb. 15,1916. f

is "provided withV openings corresponding to thek keys'desired-to beactuated, whichare' adapted to be broughtinto register with similaropenings in a tracker, which latter openings are connected. withftheprimary pneumaticsof the pneumatic actuators conected to meansforoperatin'g each of the eys.

- The shiftingiof the control of the-opera-rtion of the machine from onemaster sheet and tracker to the other master sheet and tracker iscontrolled by perforations inthe masterI sheets which operate to permitthe` excitation of certain pneumatic actuators which shift the drivingconnection :from one master sheet to the other.

i When onev master sheet is permitted to act at one time,

'then the dormant or inactive master sheet is brought into action by theactive or work-l ing master sheet and concomitantly with the stoppingof'itsown action.

The-.driving means for both of, the master sheets can bedisconnectedsimultaneor'isly, so as to stop the operation of theinachine noti onlyby the provision of an aperture in theI .typewriting master sheet at theendof thelist of names and addresses, but also by the using .of all of,the envelops which uncovers a control aperture, and further manually atthe Will of thejoperator.- The automatic means may be controlled throughan automatic 4'pneumatic actuator which operates similar to .the otherpneumatic v,whereby when the machine is started up, the

operation'wilL-be taken up exactly where it Was left 'olf without anydangery offinis-` placementof the moving` elements.

The workmember, which in this instance is an envelope, may be removed 0rtakenup f .actuatorsunder the control of a master sheet from the platen,by providing lmovable'velements, inthis instance shown in the form showthe y underl ying la vertical section matics, showing the relativearrangement of the primary and secondary pneumatics.

of Icop'erating rolls and toothed disks which are adapted to. projectthrough the open bottom of a receptacle, shown in the form of a chute,so asto deliver the envelop linto the chute. The chute may bemanipulated to lremove the envelop therefrom by coiinectionswhich cause"ift to'mo've concomi- "tatly with the movement vof vthe carriage.

The'motion in one directionma'ybe caused' by the action of a spring orequivalent ele-- ment. 'The rolls and disks may be driven from theplaten,v so as to act -concomitantly therewith'. i

Other objects andadvantages will -herev inafter appear.

as is'usual in the Underwood machine. As described in theabove-mentioned patent, the'keys 1 are actuated automatically by powerto in turn actuate the type bars. lFor this purpose, hammers 5 aremanipulated by neumatic'moto-rs 6, shown in the form of collapsiblebellows, which form part of pneumatic actuators and are controlled byvvpneumatic controls each comprising a primatic 9, the

mary pneumatic 8 ,and a secondary *pneulatter' being controlled in itsactuation by the former.

Fig. 3 is Each of the pimary pneumatics is connected by a conduit 10 toa plurality oftrackers, of which two are shown at 11 and 12. Thesetrackers are provided 'with the usual apertures; as is common inconnectio'ii with the automatic pneumatic musical'instruments, and theapertures are normally closed by-niaster sheets 13 and 14, which areperforated at suitable intervals to actuatefthe keys 1 corresponding tothe perforations,'so that auletter or address, after having once beenwritten, can

be reproduced automatically 'by running one' which each pneumaticcontrolis connected,I

and the vacuum chamber 18l is 'common to both the primary` pneumatic Sand the secondary pneumatic9.- lVhen this registra@ tion 'of aperturesoccurs, thepressureof the atmospheric air' below the diaphragm 17 willbe Vgreater' than the subatiiiospheric pressure in the suction or vacuumchamber 18, so that the diaphragm 17, and the spin! dle 19 carriedthereby, will be raised, whereby the chamber 20 'normally incommunication witli'the vacuum chamber 18, by means of a passage 21,will be cut off from communication therewith by Va valve 22 on thespindle19. This spindle 19 simultaneously opens up communication of tliechamber Q0 with theatmosphere, through the intermedi ary of/a passage23, by ra-isingfa .valve 2l carried by the spindle 19. rfhe chamber '20is connected by a conduit Q5 toa chamber Q6 locatedbeneath-a diaphragm2f-in the secondary pneumatici). The upper surface of the diaphragm 27is exposed to the suction or sub-atmospheric pressure o-f the .chamber1S, soy that 4when 'the chamber 20' is disconnected-.from thechamber 18,and con ne'cted up with the outside air, the pressure of the air' willraise the diaphragm 27, and with it a valve spindle 2S which carries avalve-29, so that the latter wi-ll'uncover a passage 30,. permitting achamber 31 to beconnected with. the suction or vvacuum in the vacuumchamber-18.

For the purpose ofactuating the shifting lever 54 to connect and disconnect the mastersheets in driving relation with the motive mecliaf' nism, there areprovided plungers and 6i which are actuatedvby :bell cranks 62 and i,63, which inturii are manipulated by pneuy maticactuators- (S4-and 65 ofa simlartype ,to thosedescribed in connection Withthe key-actuating'mechanism, and each emloody-v ing a pneumatic motor, aprimary pneumatic'67,;and a` secondary 'pneumatic 68. The pneumatic -actuator64 which'controls the plunger 60, and thusthe connection of the ,gear 40. withthe gear 39', is however controlled' from the tracker 12, and thepneumatic actuator 65 which controls the meshing of the gears 47and 48is controlled from `the tracker 11,` that to say, the conduits y69 and 70 which connect the primary pneuy matics ofthe actuators to theAtrackers are crossed, whereby the active tracker and masv 4 tei-,sheetwill render itself dormant, while it renders the previously dormanttracker and master sheet active.

. It willbe seen by reference to Fig.l 8, that the plungers60 and 61actuate the lever 54 by abutting at their ends against pins 71 and 72provided on the lever 54 on the opposite. sides of itsv pivot 55.U Whenthe plungers have shifted the lever the desired amount, they'areautomatically disconnected from vthe pins 71 and 72 by the provision ofinclined cams 73 on their under surfaces,

which engage guide. rods 74, so that foi' the i remainder of the strokeof the plungers, they can 'pass over the topsof the pins 71 and 72.` l 4InFig. ,8, the parts are in the position iii v`which the plunger 61-hasjust shifted theA lower end 'of the lever, 54 toward theleft,I

This bell cranklever` maybe manipulated from a pneumatic actuator 132 through the intermediary ofa link 133 which connects the arm 131 with the pneumatic motoi` 134 of pi the pneumatic actuator. This motor l134 is controlled win the usualWay by a pneumatic i control 'embodying primary and secondarypneumatics-135 and 136, the latter of Which is connected to the motor134 by a conduit 137. Theprimary pneumatic v135` is connected'by aconduit 138 to the tracker 11,
